GE-Proton 9-2 released, ULWGL gets renamed to umu (Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher)
  • if anyone like me was wondering

    So, we've decided on "umu" as the rename for ULWGL.
    
    umu "oo-moo" -- A chamber used for baking or heating.
    
    It fits the theme of pressure-vessel, steam, etc, and it's short, easy to say in a conversation, (and jokingly uwu).
    
  • Linux SSD TRIM support in 2023
  • the Arch wiki has some info. Not too sure but i think enabling the systemd timer is enough.

  • How do you say "Fuck russia" in Ukranian. I wanna be able to say the other side of Slava Ukraini :)
  • above translation isn't the best, it means "to fuck russia"

    I'd say "rosiyu - nakhuy" (read phonetically) is better.

  • Fuck it, give me your most OVERRATED Distros
  • why do you say apt is the worst pm?

  • Have you ever apologized to someone you wronged for a very long time, or received an unexpected apology in a similar way?
  • Yep i agree. Partly because of that bullying i had changed schools back then. Then a few years later it so happened that this person joined a folks dance group that another person from my new school here was attending and so i went and saw him at that performance. Even then i noticed he was different, although we didn't talk. So it's possible he changed even during those years.

    Thank you!

  • Have you ever apologized to someone you wronged for a very long time, or received an unexpected apology in a similar way?
  • At the moment i was definitely more surprised and awkward but after some time i realized i was glad he did that, It brings some much needed closure. As i said, he wasn't always totally awful, he even defended me a few times when he recognized things went too far. Looking at his life afterwards, the way he got into theater, he seems to have made many changes for the better, don't know what prompted him.

    What surprised me was also the way he spoke, his voice almost had a sort of constant tranquility, like he was at peace and wanted to atone for his behavior. But afaik he wasn't that much into religion to explain it.

    But i was also always more angry at the other two, not him as much. I blame them for the social anxiety that plagued me my whole life.

  • What would you like to talk about: (but didnt bother to create a post about it) ?
  • There are many instances. you're free to choose one in particular(maybe one specialized in your language or hobby or country) or just go with one of the big ones like mastodon.social. See https://joinmastodon.org/servers

    Yes you can subscribe to lemmy communities and new posts will appear in your mastodon feed.

  • Have you ever apologized to someone you wronged for a very long time, or received an unexpected apology in a similar way?
  • One of my school bullies one day unexpectedly apologized. I had long forgotten about it but we one day met randomly in the city and he suddenly started talking about how he was sorry how he treated me. He genuinely seems to have changed, i was surprised how much he changed for the better actually. But this also goes only for him, there were 2 others and they were much worse.

  • Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live
  • So happy they migrated to the new engine. Previously i was getting single digit fps near the 25 minute mark and now it's smooth :)

  • I Just Can't Understand How to install fitgirl repacks on linux
  • It's been a while since i tried installing a fitgirl repack, what issues specifically are you getting?

    If you just don't know how to do it at all this video may help: https://youtu.be/gVuabEckMMA

    It's a bit overcomplicated but you only need to get the general gist how to install and to point the executable inside Lutris.

  • Youtube-dl website has been taken down by Uberspace following court-ordered ban
  • I believe youtube-dl are just slower at accepting merges. For example yt-dlp were the first to mitigate youtube's speed throttling and idk if the base project has it even now. It's still functional but may be slower.

  • As Star Wars Stagnates, Star Trek Is Flourishing
  • Is there still anything upcoming though..?

    My impression was the buyout was complete and they've still been silent for probably over a year now.

    One of the writers on Twitter isn't very optimistic :(

  • As Star Wars Stagnates, Star Trek Is Flourishing
  • I know the post wasn't about it but unfortunately the only show really stagnating is Stargate, for years now. It's a crime how mishandled it is.

  • About the popularity of 2 button navigation
  • Ios kinda does have undo via a shake but you could also say it's not discoverable, slow and awkward. No idea if Android has anything system and not app-lvl though.

  • 10 years ago, Google launched the 2nd-gen Nexus 7, and no tablet has captured its magic since
  • I still have it and still use it occasionally. But yes, performance is often bad. Always suspected it was the storage but couldn't understand why or how it could become slower over time. Because I don't remember it being this slow when it was new. I also thought it was the new android updates that came out over time.

  • Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?
  • Maybe i misunderstood your question but i've also heard many say they weren't getting all the content from the channels they subbed to exactly on the subscriptions feed. Personally i've never noticed this but that's why some channels started recommending to also hit the bell.

  • This week in KDE brings new [#Plasma6](https://floss.social/tags/Plasma6) features, like changes to the sound theme and when sounds are played, you can now change your active power profile, and log in
  • Yep. Actually using them in everyday life will be the answer. Playing the sounds one time individually can't really say whether I'll like it or want to disable it right away.

  • I don't mind it much but see what you mean. I just think the name of the theme Blue Ocean explains a bit why they're this way. Almost like you're underwater.

  • Ukraine is now the most mined country. It will take decades to make safe
  • During Prigos march there were reports the Kremlin were actively calling the few countries they still had some relationship with. So it looked like he was considering escape for a moment.

  • Lemmy's trending algorithm could use some work

    Pretty much all of these subs show no content or content from 3 years ago and the activity is 1 user per 6 months. They don't even change if i refresh the page. Why are they considered trending?

    Lemmy shows less content than there is coming from kbin

    I've tried a few communities between lemmy and kbin this way.

    When i'm logged into lemmy(or not) and view some kbin community it shows me there is either scarce community activity or none at all. While if i visit the original community on kbin it shows a lot more.

    The example with the pc gaming community works well. lemmy shows the last new post was 13 days ago. and kbin shows multiple posts made only 3 hours ago.

    Another example: Stargate through lemmy shows 0 posts while kbin has low activity but does have posts 3 weeks ago.

    Can somebody confirm this? Is this a bug?

    Any websites that search related communities to help migrate from reddit?

    I know wefwef offers an importer for the export offered from Apollo but i was too late and with Apollos shutdown i can't access that menu.

    Are there any websites or tools out there that read through the subs you're subbed to and offer similar alternatives that already exist on the Fediverse?

    Thanks.

    Question about servers and backups

    If a server were to be shutdown(lack of financing or any other reason) would all the content posted there be lost too?

    Is there anything the admins do or can do to prevent this? Any Mastodon instance featured on the main webpage for example offers a guarantee to at least warn users months before the shutdown.

    Could the content be perhaps moved to another server like mastodon people can move over their followers?

    Where can i see which instances are blocked here?

    Unless i'm blind i can't find it anywhere for lemmy.ml. On Mastodon this is listed on the instances about page. Thanks.
